I can only speak for Crafty.  It can run on any platform that is SMP.  It
won't (currently) run on message passing architectures like the cluster of
alphas you mentioned.  The largest number of processors I have tested with
was 32.  But there is no real limit in that regard, just so the machine is
based on shared memory and not message passing.
